DWI Saturation Patrols Planned in St. Charles County
This summer, local law enforcement agencies will conduct coordinated DWI saturation patrols in the St. Charles County community.
While officers regularly enforce DWI laws within their own jurisdictions, these saturation events represent a joint effort among the St. Charles City Police Department, St. Charles County Police Department, St. Peters Police Department, O’Fallon Police Department, Lake St. Louis Police Department, Wentzville Police Department, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. On designated dates throughout the summer, these agencies will increase patrols across high-traffic areas throughout St. Charles County to identify and remove impaired drivers from the road.
The effort will involve Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)—officers specially trained and certified to identify drivers impaired by drugs, not just alcohol.
How you can help:
Talk to your friends and loved ones about making safe choices. Always plan ahead for a sober ride. Use a rideshare service, designate a driver, or stay overnight if needed. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you see someone who may be impaired, speak up or help them find a safe option. Your actions could save a life, maybe even your own. Let’s all do our part to prevent impaired driving and make our communities safer.
